Using the USB interface

It is possible to listen to two-channel audio1 and watch JPEG files using the USB interface on the front of this unit. Connect a USB mass storage device2 as shown below. Important If a USB ERR message lights in the display, it may mean that the power requirements of the USB device are too high for this player, or that the device is incompatible. Try the following: Switch the player off, then on again. Reconnecting the USB device with the player switched off. Selecting to another input source (like DVD/CD), then back to USB. Using a dedicated AC adapter (supplied with the device) for USB power. If this doesnt remedy the problem, it is likely your USB device is incompatible.

USB Type A

1 With the player switched on, press USB. Make sure your TV is on and set to the correct video input. 2 Connect your USB device. The USB terminal is located on the front panel.

About MPEG-4 AAC

Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) is at the core of the MPEG-4 AAC standard, which incorporates MPEG-2 AAC, forming the basis of the MPEG-4 audio compression technology. The file format and extension used depend on the application used to encode the AAC file. This unit plays back AAC files encoded by iTunes bearing the extension '.m4a'. DRM-protected files will not play, and files encoded with some versions of iTunes may not play, or filenames may display incorrectly.
Apple and iTunes are trademarks of Apple Computer, Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries.
Wipe lightly from the center of the disc using straight strokes. Dont wipe the disc surface with circular strokes. If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a commercially available CD/DVD cleaning kit to clean a disc more thoroughly. Never use benzine, thinner or other cleaning agents such as those designed for cleaning vinyl records.

About WMA

Storing discs
Avoid leaving discs in excessively cold, humid, or hot environments (including under direct sunlight). Don't glue paper or put stickers onto the disc, or use a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-tipped writing instrument. These could all damage the disc.
The Windows Media logo printed on the box indicates that this player can playback Windows Media Audio content. WMA is an acronym for Windows Media Audio and refers to an audio compression technology developed by Microsoft Corporation.

Discs to avoid

Discs spin at high speed inside the player. If a disc is cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise damaged, don't risk using it in your player you could end up damaging the unit. This unit is designed for use with conventional, fully circular discs only. Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in connection with the use of shaped discs.

Screen sizes and disc formats
DVD-Video discs come in different screen aspects, ranging from TV programs, which are generally 4:3, to CinemaScope widescreen movies1, with an aspect ratio of up to about 7:3. Televisions also come in different aspect ratios; standard 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.2

TV system setting

The default setting of this system is AUTO, and unless you notice that the picture is distorted when playing some discs, you should leave it set to AUTO. If you find picture distortion with some discs, set the TV system to match your country or regions system. However, this may restrict the kinds of disc you can watch. See the table for the kinds of discs compatible with each setting (AUTO, PAL and NTSC).3

1 Switch the unit into standby, then press SETUP. 2 Use / to choose TV SYS then press ENTER. The TV system changes as follows:
1 Many widescreen discs override the systems settings so that the disc is shown in letterbox format regardless of the setting. 2 Using the 16:9 (Wide) setting with a standard 4:3 TV, or one of the 4:3 settings with a widescreen TV, will result in distortion. When you watch discs recorded in 4:3 format, you can use the TV controls to select how the picture is presented. Your TV may offer various zoom and stretch options; see the instructions that came with your TV for details. Some movie aspect ratios are wider than 16:9, so even with a widescreen TV, these discs will still play in a letterbox style. 3 Most models of the newly developed countdown PAL TV system detect 50 Hz (PAL)/60 Hz (NTSC) and automatically switch vertical amplitude, resulting in a display without vertical shrinkage. However, in some cases, the image may appear without color. If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control, you may not be able to watch NTSC discs because of picture roll. If the TV has a V-Hold control, adjust it until the picture stops rolling. On some TVs, the picture may shrink vertically, leaving black bands at the top and bottom of the screen. 4 You have to switch the player into standby (press STANDBY/ON) before each change.
